Our SaaS Platform Solves Business Problems with Science

DigitalClone technology is transferable to any industrial or transportation application as it is rooted in simulating the failure process (lifecycle) over the lifetime of the asset under its unique operating conditions. By understanding how failure initiates and propagates in the asset, prescriptive life extension actions can be taken to mitigate risk of unplanned failure events.

  • “Under current paradigm, every system is so unique that going through the qualification process is costly. Computational testing holds promise to reduce the costs, but there are still any uncertainties. Eventually, we’ll get there”

    Bradley Miller, Aviation Development Directorate

  • “We’re trying to help make better helicopters for the general public, and in the helicopter world, gears are very important. When the DigitalClone results came in, and the correlation was so good, the company president got very excited about what his guys had been developing.”

    Tim Krantz, Glenn Research Center

  • “Sentient Science is a prime example of businesses that drives Governor Cuomo’s vision for redevelopment in Western New York and we congratulate them on this global acknowledgement”

    Kathy Hochul, Lt. Governor of New York State

  • “It is the innovative entrepreneurs and high growth businesses like Sentient Science who help power our economy and more it forward by creating new jobs and making out industries globally competitive.”
